Notes About Existing Stations...

Loysville (N&SV) - Part of Kreider's Mill. Is this the same station as pictured here?

Water Plug (N&SV) - During the late 1800's, the Newport and Shermans Valley railroad crossed behind the house. Due to a never failing spring on the property, a dam was constructed and water supplied to the steam engines. Thus, Water Plug Station (as it was known on the N&SV timetable as well). To this day, the spring is used to fill and top off the 20x40 ft. in ground swimming pool on the property. The dam can still be seen but has since been breached.
